How does BIBA act as the voice of brokers through its lobbying efforts? with Steve White from BIBA

Description:

With this year’s BIBA Conference just around the corner, Steve White returns for the latest episode of Covered in 15. While the annual event constitutes the majority of headlines relating to BIBA, much of the organisation’s activities to support its members are listed in the BIBA Manifesto. It is collated through conversations across the country, granting members a voice in Westminster, where BIBA is lobbying the government to support their members’ interests.

To find out more, read this year’s BIBA Manifesto, linked below in the ‘Resources’ section.

Quote:

“In the Manifesto, we set out the issues, we set out our calls for action, things we want, and what we want the decision makers, whether they be the regulator, the civil servants, the politicians, etc, to do. We also set out a number of commitments for what we will do to help resolve the problem. That combination of suggesting solutions, calling for action, our commitments to put things right, all done in a transparent way, is what makes the Manifesto a very well received document down at Westminster.”
